About MCN
Organized as a not-for-profit governed by a national board of clinicians, MCN promotes and sustains its mission through training, education, research, and program development. Operated by a diverse staff with clinical, cultural, and technical expertise, MCN serves clinicians and communities in the United States, Mexico, and sites around the world. Founded as a network focused on the health of America's migrant farmworkers, MCN has retained this special population as a core value while also acknowledging its leadership and responsibility in assisting the health of other mobile, poor, and culturally displaced populations. Initially limited to federally funded migrant and community health centers, MCN has expanded over its 23 year history to include health departments, universities, medical centers, and private practices in its scope of work. Our interdisciplinary focus includes:
- Primary, secondary, and tertiary oral, physical, and mental health care access
- Quality Improvement serving the mobile poor
- Occupational and environmental health
- Preventive health, particularly in immunization care
- Family Violence prevention and intervention
- Research safety and justice as it impacts the mobile poor
- Capacity building for health centers and communities
- Health education and training
- Professional development across all clinician disciplines
- Cultural Competency training
- Direct technical assistance to organizations and communities serving the mobile poor
